Does this strut bar fit my 2002 Cavy? I don't think so

Hey,

Got this strut bar which advertises 95-02 cavalier, all models. I tried to lengthen the bar but it just doesn't seem like it fits...I suck at installing parts! What do you all think?

Just to be sure, you are trying to install this in the rear, correct?

All rears on 3rd gens from 95 to 05 are the same.

Those bars are decent pieces, you just have to stretch the ends out by unscrewing them a bit, and it should then fit nice a snug.

I noticed alittle bit of improvement when i had both my Vibrants on my stock suspension. I cant run my rear anymore due to the hump on the rear strut towers and the bolts/studs on my air struts are not long enought to use spacers.

Yes, for the rear! That's what I thought, I must be doin something wrong.. Plus how come I only got one bolt in the rear for each strut side? The front, for example has 3 bolts on each strut bar side...The other two in the rear look like spacers or something. They just pop off and then replace with a bolt? Not sure how to do it.

You will notice that those arent spacers but where the bolts thread in from the bottom

I had this same issue when installing my first one

I just found a nut that matches the thread for those and put the bracket over top

Okay, realized this fits the FRONT, not the rear!
